Saturday's Sound Off

The most recent Census revealed that in California 82 percent of households headed by an illegal immigrant are receiving Welfare as are 61 percent of households headed by legal immigrants. Citizenship must be reserved for those who can make the greatest contribution to our society, not those who will exploit it.

While watching the TV coverage of the pursuit of the Boston terrorist, I alternated between ABC and Fox. Fox was up to date with the suspect in the backyard boat; ABC didn’t have a clue as to what was going on.

EX ABC NEWS WATCHER

This nation belongs to God and if you think He is going to give it up to sin without a fight, think again — 9/11, 2008 when our economy took a downturn, the Boston Marathon, Sandy, Katrina. Wake up America before it’s too late.

This is for Just Curious regarding clearances for construction workers at schools, yes, all construction workers working on a school site do have to go through criminal clearances in order to work there.

Joe Kirkland calls himself a great listener. Four years ago I asked him to call or stop by my house and listen to my needs. He hasn’t gotten back to me yet.

IGNORED 7TH WARD RESIDENT

As the gang of eight contemplates amnesty for criminals they call immigrants, will that amnesty work for all criminals as another civil right of man’s invention?

TO DISCERN OR NOT DISCERN

I know this may come as a terrible thought to you but Jesus was blue collar and had long hair. He loves you.

Thank you to the Phoenixville Jaycees for another great year of the annual Dogwood Pageant which is held every year at the Barkley Elementary School in Phoenixville. It was a beautiful night, all the girls, their hard work it’s a shame they all couldn’t have won because they were all good. It’s a very nice time for all who were there. Alan Hughes was the MC and as every year he did a great job.

If you go by Hale and West streets and look at the sidewalks and what they allow to go on there, it’s disgraceful. The kids have to walk to school in the street because they can’t walk on the sidewalk. Do your job Pottstown Code Enforcement.

We all saw the terrible tragedy in Boston. I was wondering if the president is going to bring the families of the victims down to Washington to help him lobby the Congress for tighter border controls. The sooner the better.

CLOSE THE BORDERS NOW

Think about this. The mass media and others are saying President Obama could have pushed the Senate more on the stronger gun laws issue when it is supposed to be the American people who should and did push the issue and our state representatives chose to fail to do so. What does that mean to you as a voter come their next election?

If anybody knows how you clean used cooking oil, i.e., peanut oil, corn oil, etc., to recycle to use in one’s oil home heating system, please call us at 610-705-8798.

In the spring of 2008, Pottstown yards were littered with Obama signs. Now in 2013 the same yards are littered with For Sale signs. I guess that’s Bush’s fault too.

IMAGINE THAT

The Readers’ View on Tuesday that Ed Narotil wrote about additional restrictions on guns are necessary and that he’s giving up his NRA membership, I wish more and more people who belong to the NRA would do this because there absolutely was no reason why we couldn’t have had the gun control passed in the Senate this past week. God bless you Ed and I hope more members follow you.

THE PHOENIX NURSE

I see one of the local police departments has gotten some new police vehicles. I don’t see why any police department has to get new vehicles. All they need to do is send the old ones out, get them refurbished and put them back in service. Look around, your taxis are ex-police cars. If they’re good enough to haul people and charge them, they should be good enough to haul criminals in who cost the taxpayers money. Let the criminals ride in the old cars.

This is to the person who thinks the president has done a wonderful job on his speech. The president doesn’t write his own speeches — that’s why it made sense.

About cleaning up dog poop, some people pick up their dog’s mess and hide it in the pile of leaves along the property line. I would like to know how people can get away with that. I think the board of health should be notified.
